The craft
A real wood deck, built once, built right.
There's a warmth to a natural wood deck that no other material matches — the grain, the way it settles into a backyard, the way it ages with character. Our carpenters frame every deck to a higher standard than code requires, because a deck is only as good as the structure you never see.
From footings and beam spans to fascia and finishing, we build entirely in-house. No subcontractor hand-offs, no guesswork — just one crew accountable from the first cut to the final board.
choose your wood
Three woods, three personalities
The right species depends on your budget, your maintenance appetite and the look
you're after. Here's how we help homeowners decide.
Western Red Cedar
Naturally rot- and insect-resistant with a rich, even grain. Stays cool underfoot and takes stain beautifully — the classic Canadian deck.
Pressure-Treated
The most cost-effective way to get a solid, code-built deck. Tough, readily available and easy to stain any colour you like as it weathers in.
Ipe & Exotic Hardwood
Dense tropical hardwoods like Ipe and Mahogany — fire-rated, virtually indestructible and stunning. The deck you build once and pass down.
How We Build It
From footing to final board.
Design & Permits
We measure, design to your vision and handle all permit drawings and approvals.
Footings & Frame
Code-plus footings and a square, over-built frame — the part that lasts decades.
Decking & Details
Boards, railings, stairs and trim installed with hidden fasteners and clean lines.
Finish & Seal
Sealed, cleaned up and walked through — with our written workmanship guarantee.
WHY ACORN
Carpenters, not crews of subs.
The right species depends on your budget, your maintenance appetite and the look
you're after. Here's how we help homeowners decide.
One accountable crew
The carpenter who quotes your deck is the one who builds it. No middlemen, no finger-pointing.
Structure first
We over-engineer the parts you never see, so your deck never bounces, sags or pulls away from the house.
Fixed, honest quotes
A clear scope and a fixed price up front. The number we quote is the number you pay.
